### C. Configurable Constants

The OSPF protocol has quite a few configurable parameters. These parameters are listed below. They are grouped into general functional categories (area parameters, interface parameters, etc.). Sample values are given for some of the parameters.

Some parameter settings need to be consistent among groups of routers. For example, all routers in an area must agree on that area's parameters, and all routers attached to a network must agree on that network's IP network number and mask.

Some parameters may be determined by router algorithms outside of this specification (e.g., the address of a host connected to the router via a SLIP line). From OSPF's point of view, these items are still configurable.

C.1 Global parameters
C.2 Area parameters
C.3 Router interface parameters
C.4 Virtual link parameters
C.5 Non-broadcast, multi-access network parameters
C.6 Host route parameters
